Chapter 36: Chapter 36: The Cat Lives!



"Alright, Beifei, don't ask too many questions. You're just a high school senior. You must have activated your Awakening System a few days ago, right? There's so much for you to learn, but now just stay to the side. This matter is very important to me."

Lu Hong adjusted his glasses and walked to the fencing on one side.

"Here's a pair of glasses for you too. If you see that Xu Yang who attacked you that night, you must report it immediately. Simply sliding your fingers along the big, long legs of the glasses can adjust the screen."

Lu Zhiwei stuffed a pair of police glasses into Xiang Beifei's hands.

The lenses flickered with an imperceptible light and while they looked like ordinary prescription glasses to the casual observer, they were actually advanced equipment, similar to cutting-edge AR devices, capable of freely adjusting focus and searching targets automatically.

Xiang Beifei put on the glasses and then directed his gaze into the mall.

With just a touch of his fingers to the legs of the glasses, the screen switched to the mall's surveillance, which was very advanced. Each screen was quite clear and reflected the outlines of every person distinctly.

Even through the surveillance, Xiang Beifei could see everyone's systems.

For the capture of Lai Wuying this time, more than twenty undercover Law Enforcers had been deployed. These well-trained enforcers each disguised themselves as ordinary shoppers, virtually undetectable to the common person.

But Xiang Beifei could spot them at a glance.

Mainly because their systems were too recognizable.

The old man wearing a duckbill cap sitting in front of the elevator on the second floor, playing with a child, was not actually an old man at all, but a young Law Enforcer disguised as one.

[Host: Ma Feiguang]

[R-grade, Undercover System]

[Realm: Late Qi-Controlling]

According to the system information, Ma Feiguang was only twenty-one years old. He used his Undercover System to change his identity, with both the beard and wrinkles being effects of the system.

And the waitress standing at the entrance of a restaurant on the other side, holding a menu and greeting customers, was also a Law Enforcer—

[Host: Cheng Li]

[R-grade, Combat System]

[Realm: Late Qi-Controlling]

Her task list showed a long line of completed missions, including winning the Spring Combat Championship in the Law Enforcement Team and twice achieving runner-up in Liangzhou Police Qi-Controlling Freestyle Fighting.

The other Law Enforcement officers were easily identifiable, with various [R-grade Criminal Investigation Systems], [R-grade Detective Systems], [R-grade Unyielding Justice Systems].

Beifei quickly identified all the Law Enforcers in the crowd, giving him a sense of reassurance.

"Everyone, pay attention! Xiao Xue's cat is dead!"

Lu Hong quickly steadied the stem of his glasses and repeated the statement gravely.

The Cat Lives?

The Cat Is Dead?

Xiang Beifei suddenly seemed to understand what this young man's system was.

As the young man walked towards the second floor, Xiang Beifei could clearly see the man's system through his glasses, and he couldn't help but marvel.

[Host: Xue Mo]

[S Grade, Schrodinger's Cat System]

[Realm: Early Stage of Meridian Opening]

Schrodinger's Cat is a very famous experiment in quantum theory.

A cat is placed in a box with a toxic substance, controlled by radioactive decay. Since it's unknown when the radioactive substance will decay, it's also uncertain whether the cat will be poisoned to death. Whether the cat is dead or alive remains undetermined until the box is opened.

In short, if you don't do something, you will never know the specific result, but if you do it, you will find out what the result is.

In other words, there's an uncertainty in anything that could happen.

But your participation will directly intervene in the outcome.

Xue Mo's system relies on checking whether the cat is dead or alive to find the most probable outcome of a particular situation.

This is the principle his system uses to make predictions.

At that moment, Xue Mo's system interface was densely packed with various quantum theory formulas, which were rapidly changing, performing complex calculations with Xue Mo's intervention.

His formulas required two constants, namely 0 and 1.

Each time he arrived at a general area, he would lift the lid of the shoe box to check whether his cat was dead or alive.

If the cat in the shoe box was dead, he would insert 0 into the formula, and if the cat was still alive, he would insert 1. He would then use those strange formulas in combination with the location coordinates and the current time to simulate the most likely event to happen nearby through the system.

"No wonder those old witches who could prophesy in fairy tales always liked keeping a cat—it's because of this reason."

Xiang Beifei couldn't help but mutter.

Fairy tales do not deceive me.
